I've been a user of org-mode in Emacs for a number of years. I really like it. I've been hamstrung by the tools I have to use at work. They are not open systems or they are not configured to be open. So I cannot use the power of Emacs and org-mode as I would like. If I could integrate my work email, calendar, contacts, and so on I could RULE THE WORLD!
Hmmm. Perhaps not that, but I would be more potent with my information.
The amount of time I spend doing technical things dwindles regularly. I keep my hand in to keep from getting too rusty. I also need to make sure I'm keeping up with the state of things. The bulk of my time is spent in meetings, in email, in spreadsheets, in presentations, in documents, and researching.
I was surfing around the other day and stumbled on a review of Microsoft OneNote 2010. I lost the link, but the article intrigued me. Maybe I can use OneNote to replace org-mode for me in my work life?
There are a lot of similarities between the two. It makes me wonder if the developers are or were org-mode users. While surfing I can make notes that are automatically linked, I can store notebooks on the web or in SharePoint. I can arbitrarily capture data and associate it later. I can link from one item to another.
I'm just getting started, but so far I'm liking what I see. More to come!
